Maiden flight. Rocket was loaded with an Aerotech G71-7R reload. Also onboard was my new Jolly Logic Chute Release system set for 300'. It took 3 igniters before it finally lit. Once lit, the rocket screamed off the pad to around 600+'. Delay was a bit long but ejected everything. Chute release cycled at 300' and worked fine. Altitude set to low. Rocket was still swinging back and forth when it landed on its side. No damage but hit harder than I would have liked.
